“One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind.”
What this quote means
This quote pushes us to creative urgency. If we knew we'd be blind tomorrow, we'd look at everything with new intensity, gratitude for sight. By shooting as if it were our last day of vision, we capture the essence of moments, we absorb light, faces, landscapes.
